It’s hard to have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Incorrectly known as attention deficit disorder (ADD), ADHD is partly an attention disorder that affects people in different ways. Some adults with ADHD never received clinical diagnoses as children in their school years. Adult ADHD is often misdiagnosed as depression or an anxiety disorder and can be overlooked as the source of such symptoms.
COVID-19 has unfortunately impacted many services and you may be asking where do I find ADHD Support online? Thankfully the foundations laid over the last year or so at ADHD Support Australia in creating an online platform to serve the ADHD community across Australia, means that during this time of social distancing and restrictions, ADHD Support can be easily accessed online, including the monthly expert speaker evenings that were previously held at Pittwater RSL.
I’m super excited to announce I’ve finally launched the new Patreon membership site for ADHD Support Australia to enable you to access our expert ADHD speakers online wherever and whenever you like!
